Christmas Cookies

We made a batch of Christmas cutout cookies. Tyler and Cole love the frosting and sprinkles!

Tree Hunting

As is our tradition, we went up to Tobacco Ranch to go look for our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.

Notice that the width of the tree is nearly is tall as Geoff!

Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year for both sides of the family. We have so much to be thankful for and felt so blessed to be surrounded by family at Thanksgiving.

Geoff set up Rock Band in the garage. Here's the Andersen Band!

Grandparents' Day

Guadalupe Elementary had Grandparents' Day. My parents have been looking forward to this all year! They got to go to Tyler's kindergarten class and see them sing songs and eat the "stone soup" and corn muffins that the class made. It was pretty special for Tyler to have all four of his grandparents in attendance!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Geoff took a day off of work since the boys had Veteran's Day off. We headed over to Monterey and went to the Aquarium.

One of their favorite exhibits.

Afterwards, we went to Dennis the Menace Park

Halloween Night

Getting ready to go out trick-or-treating with Miki and Melissa (Geoff answers the door).

Cole actually had his pajamas on under his costume. Tyler decided to go back out for round 2 to see a friends "haunted house" and Cole wanted to stay home. After we left, he decided he wanted to go and was already in his pajamas so Geoff just put his costume on over them!

Breakfast Conversation

"Hey, Tyler did you know some people believe a different God, but there's only one God....because Jesus IS God, right?!" -Cole 4 yrs. old
